And as a follow-up to my previous question, a feature request based on it at the end of this post. It may save other users quite some time if they end up in the same "corner" of evolution as I did...
(Note that I'm a fan of evolution, already been happily using it for years, hence this is no critique, but a tip to make it even better ;-)) On Sat, 2018-11-17 at 19:21 +0100, Andre Klapper wrote: > On Sat, 2018-11-17 at 14:03 +0100, Chide wrote: > > Version Evolution: 3.28.5-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 > > I created a new POP account.

I must say that this is a quite confusing, and non-intuitive user- interface design decision within evolution. One would expect that switching on the POP account (in the Mail Accounts preferences) itself should show it in the mail-client. But it does not. I think it would be a more consistent design decision to, for example, warn the user that he or she should also switch on "On this computer" once he or she checks the box next to a POP account. Or even switch it on automatically. After all, for what reason would someone check a POP box, and not want to see it? _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
